Gates Open are a band from Finland that has been featured before in this zine and on this recording plays a very melodic and blackened mixture of death and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2024 ep "Black Clouds Over The World" which will be released in October by Inverse Records.
A very hard and heavy sound starts off the ep while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Vocals are mostly blackened metal screams along with the riffs also adding in a great amount of melody and thrash metal elements and death metal growls are also utilized at times.
All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them while the music is very heavily rooted in the modern era. Most of the songs also stick to more of a mid tempo direction with only a small amount of blast beats and fast playing being utilized and one song also adds in a brief use of clean playing.
On this recording Gates open remain true to the melodic and blackened mixture of death and thrash metal that they had established on their previous release. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Gates Open and if you are a f an of melodic black, death and thrash metal, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nightmares Coming True" and "Gates Of Rock". 8 out of 10.
